#143 | Why Same Sex Spaces Are Sacred and How We Destroyed Them

from Ancient Intelligence · host Anya Shakhmeyster

In this episode I explore the collapse of sex separated or sex sacred (as I like to say) spaces in our society. By charging into men’s spaces (i.e. Boy Scouts) women have actually lost so much of the respect and affection from men that they crave.Listen in to hear why same-sex spaces aren’t about exclusion but protection, a story about an Aboriginal tribe’s view on it, a reaction to women entering Australia's bars for the first time in 1974, the confusion about female sexuality and empowerment, and much more.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 — Intro02:05 — Why privacy and boundaries matter04:23 — When women overshare in front of men06:04 — The push to make men and women interchangeable08:03 — Misunderstanding masculine boundaries10:10 — Why same-sex spaces matter11:57 — The Aboriginal tribe example14:29 — Why male intrusion changes the environment15:29 — The problem with public eroticism17:29 — The misunderstanding of female empowerment20:18 — The container is wrong21:23 — Boundaries, sacred spaces, and women’s lodges22:46 — Men’s groups and healing the feminine23:39 — What this could look like for women24:37 — Outro_______________Beyond the podcast, I work 1:1 with men who are ready to experience their innate power and potency.
